Moving into the long weekend and a week’s vacation, I’ll be taking some time to finish some projects and then some time to b.r.e.a.t.h.e. I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone. In fact, it never really started, what with the unusual and un-predictable weather we had.

Not only was this a super fun couple, they had some really lovely details that tied the decor very nicely into their wedding scheme. Working off the ‘Tiffany’ theme, they had bombonieres made up as Tiffany boxes with white and blue custom […]
